We LOVE food trucks. All kinds. They are brilliant and a great way to taste your way through the culinary world. They aren’t cheap but usually have some great food.
Yesterday we have a wing food truck here at the resort. 1. We LOVE WINGS 2. We already said how much we love a food truck.
Our neighbours John and Karen from Maryland actually told us about the food truck coming in. We didn’t know what kind of food, but they had us at food truck. Shortly after 5pm (when the truck arrived) we headed out! We had at that time found out from John and Karen that it was a wing truck as they had already placed their order of Buffalo and Salt & Vinegar wings with fries. S&V?!?! Another favourite obsession of ours, in the form of potato chips. So off we went and ordered 10 each of S&V, dry jerk, and lemon pepper with an order of fries. Now that sounds like a lot, and it is, but wings are great cold and also great for a snack! So one can never have too many.
The food truck owner was a little frazzled it seemed, and to be fair there was a heck of a line up behind us. Seems we are not the only one with a wing obsession. Wanting an insulated grocery bag to bring the food back to the R.V, Lori left to go get it, as our order was going to take around 15 min.
15 min later Lori marched back to the food truck, only to find out that people were seriously miffed as he had run out of wings, one order behind us apparently. Everyone was upset and talking about how people were ordering lots of wings which wiped him out 30 minutes into his shift. The only thing he had left was a chicken sandwich and fries. So here Lori is, holding a huge insulated bag, knowing that we had ordered 30 wings and an order of fries…..when everyone standing around would have been happy to have just 10. It was a tad uncomfortable to say the least and when our order came up and Lori was stuffing the bag with food, she turned around and stated, “don’t shoot me”. Lori felt certain that she was OK to state that as Florida is not a gun carrying state, unless you have a special permit, but nonetheless as Lori said herself “it wasn’t her brightest moment”.
Now while we felt maybe a little guilty we only ate 5 wings each for dinner (they were huge), it is NOT our fault a food truck serving wings with approximately 20 different flavours, ran out! Seriously poor planning!
We did bump into a few of the folks this morning who didn’t get wings, they are still smiling and talking to us, so all is well and we have wings for the next two days!
